Indications

ACTICOAT* Moisture Control Dressing is indicated for use in light to moderately exuding partial-thickness wounds including pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, first- and second-degree burns, and donor sites. ACTICOAT* Moisture Control may be used over debrided and partial-thickness wounds.

Contraindications

Do not use on patients with a known sensitivity to silver. During MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) examination, remove from area being imaged. Prior to administering radiation therapy, remove ACTICOAT*. A new dressing can be applied following treatment.

Warnings and Precautions

For external use only. ACTICOAT* is not compatible with oil-based products, such as petrolatum. Avoid contact with electrodes or conductive gels during electronic measurements (e.g. EEG and ECG). Do not use saline.

Choose a dressing that is larger than the wound. Remove the ACTICOAT* Moisture Control dressing from the pack using an aseptic technique.
Cut to shape as necessary for awkward areas. The dressing should not be moistened prior to use as it is indicated for use on exuding wounds. Place the silver layer in intimate contact with the wound bed, ensuring the entire surface is covered.
Secure with an appropriate secondary retention dressing like ALLEVYN* Life. ACTICOAT* Moisture Control may be used under compression bandages. Cut the dressing to the size of the wound, check regularly and change it.

Removal & Change Frequency

ACTICOAT* Moisture Control may be left in place over a wound for up to seven days, but will require earlier changing if a strikethrough of exudate occurs. The dressing may adhere if used on lightly exuding wounds. If the dressing is not easily removed, moisten or soak to assist removal and avoid disruption of the wound.
